Council starts ball rolling toward utility rate hike By BRIAN ACKLEY NEWS @FROSTPROOFNEWS.NET Frostproof residents already knew they faced a utility rate hike later this year, and Monday night the city council began to change the local law that will allow them to do that. The current local ordinance allows the city to only increase rates by the Consumer Price Index, according to the law's interpretation by city attor- ney Mark Smith. In fact, the city has technically been in violation of that ordinance the last two years, he said, since there is little wiggle room in the law which mandates such an annual increase. City officials, however, have not opted to raise rates the last two years. Of course, it's highly unlikely that anyone would file suit against the city for not raising its rates, Smith said, but if they did, officials might have to retroactively raise the rates for those two years to be in compliance. To remedy the problem, council gave unanimous approval to a first reading of a new ordinance that would give the city council freedom to adjust rates however they see fit, and not be handcuffed by being tied solely into the CPI rate. Smith was not the city's attorney when the current ordinance was drafted several years ago. "If you want the council to have total control of up or down on water rates, no restrictions in the future, it's better to eliminate all of this language that was here before," Smith said. Mayor Kay Hutzelman said the CPI tie in was there to make it easy each UTILITY 5 Big turnout of candidates expected The Frostproof Area Chamber of Commerce is hosting its 10th Meet the Candidates Forum at the Historic Ramon Theatre, 15 E. Wall St., in down- town Frostproof at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, July 24.

Each candidate will be provided TURNOUT School peddles positive-support, with community help Frostproof Elementary 'store' looking to stock up for new year By GEORGE FRANICEVICH NEWS@FROSTPROOFNEWS.NET Frostproof Elementary School's staff and students have deemed the school's version of the "Positive Behavioral Support System" a resounding success. And with the community's support the program will continue to grow next semester. While you may not recognize the program by its name, you may rec- ognize the program by its goals and accomplishments. The program as'implemented in Frostproof is reminiscent of the schools of decades past; schools where the teaching of basic values and rewarding of good behavior were part of the curriculum and schools where the rules emphasizing positive behavior were clearly stated and inappropriate behav- iors were responded to swiftly and consistently. While the program was developed and is maintained by the school staff under the auspices of the Frostproof Elementary Positive Behavior Team, the core of the reward program is the Frosty Store, maintained and stocked primarily through the efforts of Frostproof Elementary's Volunteer of the Year, Noemi Cruz.

This time the state is late to the starting gate in a national effort to reap tens of millions of dollars in unpaid sales taxes on Internet purchases and in recruiting online mer- chants such as Amazon to build distribution center in the state as other states, including California and New Jersey, have done. The latest GOP convert to break from rapidly disintegrating party orthodoxy on the issue is New Jersey Gov. Chris Christy, who was featured in a front- page story in Monday's Wall Street Journal that also highlighted a bipartisan consensus on a federal bill that would strengthen states' hands in forcing virtual retailers to collect sales taxes. The Florida Legislature balked at passing a state law during the last legislative session, despite Scott's support for the measure, although Scott compli- cated matters by insisting on matching cuts in state spending. The jobs governor also has failed to initiate the kind of growth-boosting effort to lure Amazon, the world's largest online retailer into building a distribution center in the state that would effectively trigger an existing requirement that it collect sales taxes. State Our Viewpoint lawrequires companies that have a physical presence in the state to do so. The Journal article noted Amazon, among other competitors, is making significant investments in distribution centers to enable it to offer same-day delivery of purchases. Due to its size and distance from existing delivery hubs, it makes sense for Amazon to locate a shipping center somewhere in Florida. Amazon has already reached out to the state in anticipation of some movement on the Internet sales tax, offering to invest up to $200 million in Florida to build distribution centers, according to a January 2012 Tampa Bay Times report. (Why not here, Polk County commissioners?) The state's business community, including the Florida Chamber of Commerce, Associated Industries of Florida and the Florida Retail Federation, is uniformly behind implementing an online sales tax, mainly because of the advantage Internet firms gain over their "bricks-and-mortar" members. Florida TaxWatch also backs the tax, saying "Not requiring Internet sellers to collect sales tax not only erodes i Florida's tax base, but also creates an unfair advan- tage over 'bricks-and-mortar' retailers and 'clicks and bricks' retailers with both online and traditional stores." A February 2012 study by the Florida Center for Fiscal and Economic Policy estimated the lack of an Internet sales tax costs Florida between $250 million and $800 annually. Other studies put the figure as high as $1 billion a year. The social cost pushes that figure even higher considering the role locally operated businesses play in their communities, ranging from jobs and property taxes to sponsorships and charitable contributions. When's the last time you saw a Little League team sponsored by Amazon? Florida's inability to enforce existing sales tax col- lection on residents and its unwillingness to shift the burden for collecting owed taxes to retailers puts its struggling stores at a disadvantage and robs the state of resources it desperately needs. With common sense and the majority of the state's most powerful business groups solidly behind reform, it's comical that our political leaders in Tallahassee can't figure out how to get it done. Letters to the editor Stop the leaks The country needs to find out who was the source of several classified top- secret intelligence information to the national press-media and do it quickly. These leaks have badly damaged our national security and severely impeded our ability to recruit new intelligence sources. If true, these leaks have sent one Pakistani doctor to prison for the rest of his life, outed intelligence sources within Yemen Al Qaita, and a possible cyber attack on Iran. These leaks have caused various sources of intelligence to no longer feel that the U.S. Government can be trusted to keep secrets. This loss of faith limits our ability to ward off future terrorist attacks against our country. We must identify the leakers and if possible prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law. If we cannot do that, then they need to be excluded from any future intelligence briefings. The quickest way to find the traitors is for the President to order all of the people who were in the intelligence There is real My father used to tell me politicians never tell the whole truth, they always leave out the portion of the matter they do not like. A good example of this is what they are telling the electorate about tax exemptions for the ongoing concerns. They explain how this idea is supposed to work. They go through the spill that businesses, in order to succeed need to make money; then how after this cycle, if they are profitable, they take this money, expand and create jobs; and in Washington process to release any reporter from claims of confidentiality. Then anyone who refuses to do that would be barred from top-secret information. All persons the list is small who were privy to the leaked intelligence could be investigated including lie-detector tests., This investigation could be done right now by the appropriate Congressional committees-Armed Service and Intelligence. These committees are already set up to handle classified information and could start their search right now, not 6 months or more from now, which will be the case if the Department of Justice does it. It is vitally important that these leaks be stopped and the sooner the better, to prevent any further damage. The reporters should also be asked to give up their source. This should not be a partisan issue and should be a top priority for our federal government. Terry G. Loyd Lake Wales class warfare how they keep the economy fueled by these exemption and job creation. What the politicians fail to tell you I believe it is purposely omitted is there are no expansions of businesses (or very little), and no job creations at pres- ent. Is it because there is no force in the tax law to force these exempted people into expansions and job creation after they have taken the exemptions? Reality explodes in our faces when we see the unemployment figures. What CRESPOI5 When somebody says, "It's not about the money; it's about the principle of the thing," it's almost always about the money. The disclaimer supposedly gives cred- ibility to the declarer, claiming for him the moral and intellectual high ground. Baloney. The "red light cameras" that are enjoying a burgeoning growth in the country fall under this truism. Cities and counties rarely admit that they are being purchased primarily as a traf- fic fine generator. It's all about traffic safety. More baloney. They are marketed to local govern- ments as revenue devices. The biggest beneficiaries are the vendors, who not only install the cameras but examine the photos and generate the "gotcha" S.L.

UTILITY FROM PAGE 1 year for the city to raise rates a little bit. "The idea was to eliminate the de- bate," she said. "It just made it simple that there was a minimum amount it would be increased each time. We never looked at it from the fact we might not (raise rates)." Officials are looking at two rate increase options that would be imple- mented this fall. One would keep the current tier structure for rates in tact, and raise prices across the board by the CPI, which is about 2.4 percent. In the current setup, the minimum usage charge for water and sewer is 3,000 gallons per month. The second option would more greatly impact a larger number of residents. It would lower the mini- mum usage amount to 2,000 gallons per month, which would lower those bills. A new tier, from 2,000 to 5,000 gallons would then be created, which covers the majority of the system's us- ers. When the CPI increase is figured into this set up, those people in the second tier would see their bills rise by approximately $10 a month. Council members agreed to continue the rate option discussions in conjunc- tion with budget planning for the new fiscal year which starts Oct. 1. The city has scheduled a budget workshop for 4 p.m. on July 30. Frostproof leaders have been struggling to find ways to cope with what are anticipated increases in expenses related to its utilities, includ- ing a higher-than-expected cost for CRESPO FROM PAGE 4 are they always blaming regulations? Is it that they want to do business without any oversight? Probably these people are laughing on their way to the bank. It is no sin to take money. That is the purpose of the ongoing concern. What is sinful is to hoard that money in detri- ment of the poor. That is called avarice. Avarice will always be against morality. I can see this avarice as the reason why the rich get richer, and the poor In the early years the event was held at the Women's Club but it was later moved to the Depot. It was moved to the Ramon in 2008 in order to accommodate a larger turn-out of voters, McDonald commented that candidates in prior years have labeled the event "one of the best in Polk County." expansion of the waste-water treatment plant and $100,000 that will be needed to relocate water lines in conjunction with a state sidewalk project along Scenic Highway. This spring, city auditor Turner Wiggins "strongly" recommended that the city look'at raising additional revenue, since its sewer and water operations were essentially just break- ing even. Besides revenue, officials have been looking at ways to cut expenses. At a special meeting on June 25, the council agreed to dip into its general fund reserves, estimated at around $2.7 million, to pay off a Citizen's Bank Loan that had been taken out to purchase a well near the Church on the Ridge. A total of $185,732.01 was approved to retire that debt early, a measure that will save the city about $32,000 in costs this year. In addition, the city has started in motion the process to look at refinanc- ing about $1.7 million in debt still attached to the utility expansion work done in recent years. It is hoped that a lower interest rate might save the city an additional $30,000 or so as well, but any actual savings amount, if any, won't be known until refinancing offers are actually in hand later this summer. City officials indicated this week that refinancing packages have been submitted to more than a dozen financial institutions who have until mid-September to make a formal proposal. The city's consultant earlier this summer said he was hopeful that number would come in around 3.8 percent. If it's lower, the savings, of course, would be greater. get poorer. Trickle down economics is an old theory that has never worked. I can also see the class warfare against the middle class these politicians are waging. The poor do not have to worry about paying taxes since they are poor, and you can not squeeze juice from a rock. The rich get richer with all the tax breaks they get. The middle class is the one who gets the burden of paying for the rich tax exemption, and for the poor inability to pay taxes. Indeed there is a class warfare against the middle class. Manuel V. Crespo Lake Wales SUPPORT FROM PAGE 1 Cruz explains that "good behavior is rewarded by the teacher's distribut- ing Frosty Bucks to their students in denominations of$1, $5 or $10." The Frosty Bucks may then be exchanged at the Frosty Store for merchandise. "Children can use the Frosty Bucks to buy snacks or toys and how they learn the value of the money they earned and often forgo a snack now in order to get something of more value later,"'she noted. "They will often buy something for a parent or a sibling. In these austere times, this may often be the only spending money some of these children ever see." Cruz counts on donations from members of the community and local businesses to stock the store. She has been known to show up at various flea markets and yard sales to bargain for whatever they have left at the end of the day. Cruz will accept donations of practi- cally any household items except clothes. She also writes the big companies to FRISBIE FROM PAGE 4 There was a time when police departments were looked at as "profit centers" for local governments. In 45 years of covering city commissions in three cities, I have seen police chiefs taken to task by city commissions for not bringing enough revenue into the city treasury. That paradigm has changed, and for the better. Hopefully that change comes at least in part from a realization (except in speed trap towns, and most motorists know which ones they are) that law enforcement actions should not be motivated by municipal profits. The fact that the state now rakes off a lot of the fine revenue probably reduces the incentive for such chica- nery. And many officers will privately acknowledge that fines for minor traffic infractions that exceed a small family's weekly grocery budget make them reluctant to issue tickets. A Tampa motorist named Bud Nelson made headlines last week when he re- ceived two speeding tickets because the thieves who stole his car were caught on camera running red lights. He notified local law enforcement try and get them to donate the missing parts for things she's acquired. For instance she's acquired a number of PEZ containers and is trying to get the candy for them. Also she has a number of Bratz dolls she's trying to get shoes for. Frostproof Elementary "recognizes that a partnership between business/ community members and schools can make a contribution to strengthen public education and the goals we have in place for our children," she noted. "Through your donation, you can help our children receive those extras that make the difference in the quality of education, both academically and socially," she added. Sponsors, in turn, get recognized in the school newsletter, website, and in local press coverage. Last year, support came from Frostproof Elementary School staff, Candance Cervantes, Emmanuel Baptist Church, Delana Ortiz, Aubrey and Ashley Walker, Cathy Devault, Alicea Costa, Rebecca Brown and the Frostproof Care Center. To make a donation and/or Contribution, contact Cruz at the school at 863-635-7802, or email her at noemiyjulio@yahoo.com. and sent a letter of protest to the company that sends out bills for the fines and sets license suspensions in motion. It didn't work; his license was suspended because he didn't file the specific paperwork that the company requires. His lawyer said this is a classic example of being presumed guilty until proven innocent. And it most assuredly is. Florida law does not make it unlaw- ful to own a car that runs a red light; it makes it unlawful for a driver to run a red light. And Florida law most assuredly does not make it unlawful to have lost an auto to car thieves who then run a red light. But that is the offense for which Nelson's license was suspended. Red light cameras are a throwback to an era when traffic fines were a major revenue source for cities. The only difference is that now the private sector has figured out how to profit from them, too. It's not the principle of the thing. It's the money. (S. L. Frisbie is retired. Despite the tone of this column, he has never been nabbed by a red light camera. For him, it's not about the money; it's about the principle of the thing.

OBITUARIES Preschool-tth 555 Burns Ave, Lake Wales, fl 863-679-3338 "Give me 4," is a quote that most Warner University students, staff, and alumni know was penned by a unique map, Jason Todd Roe. Even though Jason was born without thumbs, excuses were Jason Todd Roe never an option to live an extraordinary life. An extraordi- nary life he did lead. Jason went to be with the Lord on July 13, 2012 at the Good Shepherd Hospice House in Sebring, Fla. He was born into an amazing family on March 22, 1972 in Steubenville, OH to Billy and Leanna (Lacy) Roe. Being the son of a minister, he learned at an early age how to love people well as well as how to have fun. Jason attended Warner University from 1992-1996. He began working there in 1997 until now. The students at Warner University had his heart. His passion was to help others realize their potential and allow them to know the Love and Forgiveness of Jesus. Up until his last breath he proclaimed that all should, "Live life to the fullest." Jason also loved his church and the people he worshiped with at South Lake Wales Church of God. God equipped Jason to minister to others through song and working with the teens and college students. He would want them to know, "Don't wait!" When looking at his life he was a devoted husband and a proud father. He loved his family. He and Lana, his wife, were joined at the hip and en- joyed every moment of their 17 years Grades 6-8 First Presbyterian Church 150 Ave B, SE Lake Wales, FI 863-679-3338 h i -,,j" Now Enrolling for Fall 2012-2013 Preschool 5th and Middle School a c .d e m y a c a d e. m y together.

While "we're kind of headed in the right direction," next year will probably still be negative for Polk SCounty, Property Appraiser Marsha Faux told Bartow Kiwanis Club members Friday. As of July 1, the tax roll is down 4.79 percent from last year, Faux reported, but something positive in that is that there was an 11 percent drop in 2009, then 14 percent the next year, and now 4 percent, "so we're kind of headed in right direction." Forty-five percent of Florida mortgages are under water (meaning the mortgage is more than the house value), according to figures on zillow.com, but in Polk County, that number is 52 percent, Faux said. The county currently has 3,041 single family homes for sale, which is about 5.1 months of housing inventory. "To get demand up and get rid of that inventory, the price has to come down," she said. More than likely we'll have another negative in the tax roll in 2012, Faux predicted, so 2014 may be the first year "we level out." One in every 401 homes in Florida is in foreclosure, Faux said, and one in 320 homes in Polk County. In April that number was one in 310 and in May, one in 290; now it is back up. Florida still has the third largest number of foreclosures in the country behind California and Nevada. "I'm not giving you any great news, and I'm sorry about that, other than we're alive and well." The average median house value has gone from $174,476 in 2008 to $92,000 in 2012, a 43 percent decline in the tax roll. Faux also discussed four constitutional amendments af- fecting property taxes that will be on the November ballot. Amendment 9 adds surviving spouses of emer- gency first responders to the law allowing total or partial property tax exemptions to surviving spouses of military service veterans killed in the line of duty. First responders are defined as a law enforcement of- ficer, a correctional officer, a firefighter, an emergency medical technician, or a paramedic. Amendment 11 is an amendment that would allow counties and municipalities to grant an additional homestead tax exemption to seniors equal to the assessed value of homestead property valued at less than $250,000 to an owner who has maintained permanent residency for at least 25 years, who is at least 65, and who has a legally-defined low household income. Faux said she is not really concerned about those two amendments and explained that no fiscal impact has been given yet on these two possible amend- ments, Faux said. However, Amendment 10, allowing an exemption for tangible personal property valued at between $25,000 and $50,000, could result in a revenue loss of $600,000 to $640,000 to the county, Faux said. Tangible personal property includes assets in a business that are not part of the structure or the walls, such as shelving units and cases. The amendment would allow local taxing au- thorities to offer the exemption in addition to those allowed by the state. Most complicated and potentially most costly would be the fourth dealing with property tax, Amendment 4, which is supported by the state Chamber of Commerce and Realtors, Faux explained. It has three pieces. The first part says that the as- sessment "of homestead and specified nonhomestead property may not increase if the just value of that property is less than the just value of the property on the preceding Jan. 1," the amendment reads, subject to adjustments in the assessed value due to changes or improvements to the property. Secondly, the amendment "reduces from 10 percent to 5 percent the limitation on annual changes in assessments of nonhomestead real property." The third piece would allow an additional home- stead exemption for first-time home buyers over and above the regular homestead exemption. It would apply to all taxing authorities except the school district and to those who have not owned homestead property in the previous three calendar years. The additional exemption would apply for 5 years, unless the house is sold before that. The amount of the additional exemption would be reduced by 20 percent each year. Property appraisers across the state would have to validate that those applying for the exemption are actually first-time home buyers. With 67 counties, "how on earth can we check" them all to validate the PHOTO BY PEGGY KEHOE Property Appraiser Marsha Faux spoke to the Bartow Kiwanis Club Friday. people are first-time home buyers. "A person could potentially have a house for four- and-half years and pay no taxes," Faux said, depend- ing on the home's value, adding that this amendment "could be huge" in impact. "There's still a bunch of stuff about this that isn't clear." The effects of Amendment 4 could be an "account- ing nightmare," Faux said. There's "no way of knowing the fiscal impact. "Right now there's now way to estimate what Amendment 4 would cost us," not only in revenue to the county and municipalities. "It will be very expen- sive to administer."

SI AVE LIVES. GIVE BLOOD. i - - -- - - - - - - - - Goodman quits USF faculty position By KIM WILMATH TAMPA BAY TIMES Marshall Goodman the former chan- cellor of the- University of South Florida Polytechnic who led the campus on a quest to independence, who made head- lines for buying giant slides and Marshall Goodman Star Wars statues on the school's dime, and who was being investigated following complaints about a hostile work environment under his reign - is leaving the campus for good. Goodman had been on paid "pro- fessional development" leave from USF since December, when USF President Judy Genshaft demoted him. She had given him the option of returning to campus after a year and retaining a $150,000-a-year faculty position. But on Thursday, he resigned. A memo spelling out the terms of Goodman's departure offers few details about what made him jump ship. It does, however, reference that investigation into his leadership an investigation rendered "impractical and unnecessary" now that he's out the door, according to the memo. "The university takes its responsi- bility to review employment concerns seriously," wrote Frank Brown, an attorney consulted to oversee a USF investigation into complaintsaired by Poly staffers months ago amid a separate look at questionable spend- ing at the campus. "We have met with several employees and have recently interviewed Dr. Goodman and heard his explanation of the issues. "Dr. Goodman has since voluntarily resigned." We may never know exactly what kinds of issues the memo is talking about, or Goodman's explanation of them. Now that he's leaving, the investiga- tion is kaput. Any interview notes gathered during its course are not public records, a USF spokeswoman said. "There's no written product to produce," said Lara Wade-Martinez. Goodman is leaving with some $147,000: About $58,000 for earned and accrued annual leave time and .$88,600 for the remaining balance of his professional development compensation, which was equal to his $254,000 regional chancellor salary. If he gets another job before that annual leave is up in November, though, he'll have to pay USF back money for whatever time remains at that point.

Lizbeth Macedo graduated at the top of her class at Fort Meade Middle-Senior High where she was named the 2011-2012 Salutatorian. Jovanny Nava is the 2011- 2012 Salutatorian at Mulberry High. Honorees attended the FLDOE's 2012 Florida Exemplary Migrant Scholars Banquet held in Tampa recently. Additional students who have been acknowledged by FLDOE's Migrant Education Program includes Mayra Morales Hernandez (Traviss Career Center) and Clemencia Pineda (Mulberry) as Florida Migrant Scholars of the Year. Each year the state recognizes exemplary migrant students who have overcome obstacles to reach academic excellence. Adult recipients are celebrated for their dedication to migrant students, youth and families as they unconscious- ly remind everyone that one person can make a difference. All recipients inspire others to follow suit and become pillars of the community, county school district officials noted. Perez works for the Polk County Migrant Program as a home school liaison, serving migrant parents and students. She was raised in a migrant household in Texas and worked many long hours and days alongside her family throughout the United States. Her dedication to the migrant program and mi- grant families is unmatched, school officials note. The mother of three understands the difficulties and obstacles that the parents and students struggle with. This drives her and makes her work harder to be as accessible as possible. She also does a wonderful job of partnering with the community and local churches to accumulate donations of food, clothes and other essentials needy families and out of school youth might need, district officials'added. Her office is located at Ben Hill Griffin, Jr. Elementary but she also handles the same-duties at Frostproof Elementary and Frostproof Middle Senior High School.

In an interlocal agreement, 10 acres has been authorized by the Board of County Commissioners to be sold to' Polk State College for $1. In addition to the police academy, other courses in public safety, such as emergency management services, will also be taught at the new facility. Upon completion, the facility will have a total of 100,000 square feet, 10 times larger than the site, where classes are now being taught at another campus, also located in Winter Haven. According to Linda McKinley, deputy county attorney, this was first broached by Sheriff Grady Judd in 2009. However, it was not until this year that the Florida Legislature approved $9.25 million toward the venture. "This is the latest in a number of very successful partnerships with the sheriff," McKinley said. However, that initial funding only covers one-third the estimated cost, which is projected at $30 million, ac- cording to Peter Elliott, vice president of administration for PSC. Response by commissioners fol- lowing a PowerPoint presentation by Elliot was positive. "When's the groundbreaking?" asked Commissioner Todd Dantzler. That was yet to be determined Was Elliott's reply. In addition to raising additional funds, more groundwork needs to be done, including having an architect and engineer design the proposed facility, as well as hiring a contractor. The plans are necessary, said Elliott, to demon- strate to the Legislature that progress is being made, as PSC intends to petition for more funding during the 2012-2013 legislative session. Elliott later noted that PSC would be applying for a bachelor's degree in criminal sciences once the facility is up and running. "How many students do you expect? Are there other facilities in the state?" asked Commissioner Bob English. Taking the second question first, Elliott told English that although he did not have that information with him, there currently are several; he knew of one in Broward County. As to the number of students, Elliott stated ultimate enrollmenthad not yet been determined. "Will we be attracting students from out of the county?" English then asked. "Absolutely," said Elliott. What the current space would be used for was of interest to Commissioner Edwin V. Smith. That space will be refurbished and used for other classrooms, Elliott said. for reading the Frostproof News r .0 .Mob,- July 18, 2012 Frostproof News Page 13 AIM0 Page 14 Frostproof News july 18, 2012 FCAT falling short Local officials agree to Gov. Scott's questions about test By CATHY PALMER CORRESPONDENT Like Gov. Rick Scott, Polk County school officials say students may be overtested and that recent Florida Comprehensive Assessment Tests don't show a true picture of how good or bad Polk County schools and students are. Polk County School Board Chairman Hazel Sellers and Assistant Superintendent for Learning David Lewis maintain that changing FCAT standards "in mid-stream" have af- fected the test results and fall short of representing what Polk students are actually learning and at what level. "The scoring this year is so different," Sellers said, "and we just don't really know what they mean." "Parents and taxpayers expect mea- surement. We've got to measure, we've got to find out who the best schools are," Scott said at the Florida Press Association awards banquet last week. "We've got to have a good measure- ment system, but we have to make sure we don't have too much of it." About half of Florida's ninth and 10th graders failed the reading portion of the new and more rigorous FCAT tests, which has prompted school officials statewide to call for scrapping the controversial testing system.' "Testing is just flat out of hand," S Sellers said. "The scoring this year is so different, we really don't know what they mean. The scores were so heavily weighted, we don't believe they show the real picture." She blames the changes in FCAT results on changes to the testing which were implemented in December, well after the school year's curriculum had been set and standards based on last year's tests were expected. "Our schools are doing so much more and better than the tests reflect," the board chairman says, "and there'is just too much emphasis on these tests." Lewis says the school system rec- ognizes a need for "accountability, stability and reliability" in the school's measurements, but that sometimes mandates resulted in "unintended consequences." He said the "unintended conse- quences" include residual costs for additional courses and classwork that is not budgeted and that the school system budget is already strained. "We want accountability, but not in this way," Sellers said. "These tests can't and don't show everything the state says they do." Sellers and Lewis both agreed Polk teachers are doing more and more. "Our teachers have more training and more technology," Sellers says, "and the tests results are not showing the results of their work or their students." I Sellers, who is also a board mem- ber of the Florida School Board Association, says the association passed a resolution at its summer ses- sion calling on Scott and his education administration "not to rely on these tests as a measure of our success." She also said the association hopes the governor's staff will listen to the school leaders when his office reviews the existing testing systems. Lewis adds local administrations are "frustrated" by existing measures of accountability. "We know our schools are good," Sellers says. "We have kindergartners who can read and our students are progressing properly. "We just need a better way of reflect- ing what our children can do. These tests just can't show everything. We need alternative ways for account- ability in our system. This is just not working," she said. In recent news reports, many schools had their overall grades fall, but both Lewis and Sellers say those reports are bdsed on the mid-stream test- ing changes and do not reflect lower performances by either teachers or students. "It's the tests," Sellers said. "It's just the tests." Lewis added that the system is con- stantly monitoring district-wide trends to "see what's working and what needs to be adjusted." He added the test results can, how- ever, give administrators "a baseline" from which to work. The FCAT test results are used to determine whether children are promoted and in secondary school, are also used to determine whether students can graduate.

The road project extends from east of Alan Loop Road east approxi- mately 4.1 miles to west of Peace Creek and from Peace Creek east approximately 4.7 miles to U.S. 27 in Polk County. The improvements include re- moving asphalt and resurfacing the roadway with new asphalt, widening, concrete approaches for existing bridges and CSX and Florida Midland Railroad crossings, base work, shoulder treatment, drainage improvements, curb and gutters, guardrail, bridge rail retrofits, side- walks, new signage and pavement markings and lighting adjustments. Motorists can expect lane closures and temporary detours for the proj- ects. Lane closures may be in effect during the day from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and at night. During the road work, access will be maintained to businesses and residences in locations where there is more than one entrance. At least one entrance will be maintained at all times. In a situation where there is only one entrance, only half of that entrance may be closed at a time. Flagmen will be used to direct traffic in those instances. Ed Ponce, district roadway design engineer, said during the open house at the James P. Austin Community Center, said making the improve- ments was based on an assessment called the Pavement Condition Survey. Ponce said all roads are graded to determine ride quality and if there is rutting and cracking. The Peace Creek to U.S. 27 project, which will begin Monday, will cost $5.2 million, while the Alan Loop Road to Peace Creek segment will cost a little more than $3 million. APAC is the contractor for the projects. :$S SA[VE I NEV SS One of the most popular plant displays at Bok Tower Gardens fea- tures the Tillandsia, an air plant on display outside the Visitor Center. Now visitors will be able to learn how to create and care for their own Tillandsia display on Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The workshop will be held in the Tower & Garden Gift Shop and will be included with general admission. Plants and materials for displays will be available for an additional cost. Visit www.boktowergardens.org to view a video demonstration on how to create a Tillandsia display.

The team won a berth in the event with a win in June over DeSoto in the District 7 championships. Unfortunately for Frostproof, they dropped their state playoff opener, 12-1 to Bushnell, in action on Saturday. The good news is, it was a double elimination event. They met Franklin County in the second game and kept their title hopes alive with a 6-5 win. Their third game was scheduled for late yesterday afternoon, past the deadline for The Frostproof News.

Ram Is----------- :-SUNIfY'S- DRAW , ~-~--------- --r~- u ----n--------------- -- Oi hag [4DAS ON July 18, 2012 Page 20 Frostproof News July 18, 2012 AAA reported an increase in call volume for roadside assistance during recent Florida storms and warns motor- ists to avoid driving through rising waters during any heavy rainstorms this hurricane season. That means the time to respond has increased. A majority of calls during a heavy storm can be avoided if drivers heed the advice from local law enforcement and state departments of transportation to stay off roadways until conditions improve. Motorists should always monitor local news reports and listen to the advice of their emergency management officials. If a vehicle shuts down while in standing water do.not try to restart it. Restarting a vehicle in standing water can cause more water to enter the engine and cost thousands of dollars to repair. "Although Tropical Storm Beryl didn't cause a large spike in AAA's call volume, we still had a lot of people out in the storm," said Gerald Gutowski, Sr., vice president for AAA Automotive Services, The Auto Club Group. "However, the week prior, during the severe storms in South Florida, call volume spiked more than 30 percent in areas impacted by local flooding because people thought it was safe to run their errands when they should have parked their cars in their driveways."' As AAA prepares its emergency response teams to respond to call volume during the 2012 hurricane season, it's critical to remind motorists to avoid driving through standing water. Motorists may not only be at risk for losing control of their vehicles, they can also cause severe damage, such as: Flooding the engine Warping brake rotors Loss of power steering Cause a short in the electrical components It's critical motorists know what to expect when they call for emergency roadside service during floods. AAA's emergency response service vehicles are designed to handle mechanical adjust- ments, battery and starting service, flat tires, vehicle lockout services, and can safely drive through no more than one foot of water. AAA's tow trucks can drive through 18 inches of water in order to extract a vehicle from standing water, but anything deeper than that can risk the safety of the AAA service techni- cians and tow trucks. Motorists who are at home or in a safe location will receive service as soon as conditions allow. "Floods can have a devastating impact on some neighborhoods and we can't get help to people with flooded cars when there is a state of emergency and the Department of Transportation has implemented road closures," said Gutowski. At all times, the safety of everyone on the roadways, including AAA's own employees, is paramount, he said. Service will return to normal when state departments of transportation lift road closures and AAA has been able to respond to all emergency calls from law enforcement in order to safely clear the roadways from broken down vehicles. AAA's busiest call volume usually occurs on the first day following a major flood when the sun is out and cars are acces- sible to tow trucks. This is when most motorists call for tow service.

The Florida Guide for Aging Drivers is a handy book available at no cost to senior drivers, compliments of the Florida Safe Mobility for Life Coalition. The Coalition, a group of profession- als from 28 organizations, created the guide to give aging drivers a compre- hensive resource with the most up-to- date information available. Users will find driving tips, licensing What will land development in southwest Polk County look like in the future? Polk County's Land Development Division will host Visioning Workshops, providing an opportunity for the public to review an analysis of existing conditions and provide input regarding concerns for future growth and devel- opment. The Selected Area Study (SAS) is the Bone Valley, or southwest Polk County region. A video virtual tour will also be featured at the meetings. The first workshop was held at Fort Meade City Mobile Home Park Activity Center. Other visioning workshops will guide for senior drivers information, lists of resources, and community contacts for every county in the state. Basically, the guide offers just about everything an aging driver needs to be more proactive about staying safe on the road. This book is compliments ofwww.

Florida State Champions I -- -- _wwi mmmlml9M&4:' Page 20 Frostproof News July 18, 2012 July 18, 2012 Frostproof News Page 21 FEELING ,- Co-op Cash spurs first aid training By DERRILL HOLLY ELECTRIC Co-OP TODAY STAFF WRITER An investment by consumer-mem- bers of a Florida electric cooperative into first aid training for young people could help save lives in the community for years to come. Board members from Peace River Electric Cooperative's Operation Round Up charitable foundation recently donated two automated external defibrillator machines to an Explorer post sponsored by the Polk County Sheriff's Office. "The Sheriff's Office sought a grant of nearly $6,800 to buy one defibrillator and offset the cost of first aid training," said Mark Sellers, the Wauchula-based co-op's com- munications coordinator. "The board felt so strongly about the project's potential for saving lives that they increased the grant by $1,000 for an additional defibrillator." These two defibrillators will be used. to train up to 50 young cadets how to use the technology to save lives, Sellers said. "Needless to say, the deputies are thrilled." Deputies and other staffers work with Explorer cadets, many of them former Boy Scouts, who are at least 14 years old. Participants in the post programs learn various law enforce- ment and public safety skills. "The Explorers learn about fire- arm safety, how to direct traffic, de- velop some crisis intervention skills and other critical topics needed by law enforcement," said Sellers. "The Operation Round Up grant will be used to teach them how to assess patients, perform CPR and use the AED devices. They will also learn other life-saving techniques." In recent years AEDs have become familiar fixtures in many businesses and institutions. The devices auto- matically detect potentially deadly heart rhythms and deliver an elec- tric shock to assist in reestablishing a normal heartbeat. "Over time, dozens of young people will learn more about life- saving techniques," Sellers said. "If they are ever called upon to use those skills, they could wind up giving someone in our community another chance at life."

MAKOplasty is less invasive than traditional total knee surgery and is performed using RIO, an advanced; surgeon controlled robotic arm system. Bartow Regional Medical Center is the first to acquire this technology in the county, it said. MAKOplasty potentially has benefits compared to total knee surgery such as it has less pain, there is minimal hos- pitalization, there is generally a more rapid recovery, there is less implant wear and loosening, a smaller scar and provides better motion. "MAKOplasty allows us to treat patients with knee osteoarthritis at earlier stages and with greater precision," said Dr. Stephen Beissinger of Bartow Regional Medical Center. People can see and meet orthopedic surgeons who are certified to perform these procedures at an open house at Bartow Regional Medical Center on Thursday, July 19, from 5-7 p.m. For information on the open house call 863-519-1442. There are also seminars scheduled at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 25 at the Courtyard Marriott at Lakeside Village, at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 7 at the Bartow Regional Medical Center classroom, 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 23 at the Best Western Park View Restaurant in Winter Haven and 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 20 at the Lake Region Country Club.

UF targets known barriers to preventing cervical cancer The human papillomavirus vaccine can protect against cervical cancer, yet only one-fifth of adolescent girls on Medicaid in Florida receive the vaccine, even though it's free for them, University of Florida researchers say. Now, with the help of a $150,000 grant from the Society of Adolescent Health and Medicine, UF researchers have launched a pilot project aimed at increas- ing vaccination rates in girls. Led by Stephanie Staras, Ph.D., the UF research- ers will develop and test a multifaceted approach to increase awareness about the vaccine among girls and their parents, and to prompt more doctors to offer it. "In Florida, girls enrolled in Medicaid are about half as likely as the general population to protect themselves from cervical cancer by getting the HPV vaccine,"said Staras, an assistant profes- sor in the UF College of Medicine depart- ment of health outcomes and policy. "We aim to decrease the vaccine inequalities among adolescents enrolled in Florida Medicaid and KidCare by addressing what we found to be the biggest barriers - provider recommendations, cost and concerns about safety." The study is one of 10 public health demonstration projects the Society of Adolescent Health and Medicine is fund- ing through a grant from Merck & Co. Inc., the makers of Gardasil, a vaccine for the human papillomavirus, or HPV which is the main cause of cervical cancer. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that girls and boys receive an HPV vaccine at age 11 or 12. The two vaccines approved by the Food and Drug Administration for protection against cervical cancer are Gardasil and Cervarix, which is made by GlaxoSmithKline. Both vaccines are given as a series of three shots and protect against some of the most common types of HPV The CDC also recommends that young women ages 13 to 26 get the vac- cine if they did not receive it when they were younger. UF researchers have teamed with five Gainesville health care providers to complete the 18-month study, which will focus on teens enrolled in Medicaid and Florida KidCare, the state children's health insurance program. Both Medicaid and Florida KidCare provide the HPVvac- cine at no cost to patients. To increase the number of girls who start an HPV vaccine series, the UF team will test different ways of getting facts about the vaccine to adolescents and their parents. Postcards will be sent to parents in an effort to educate them about cost and safety. In addition, the researchers will raise awareness about HPV and the vac- cine among adolescents through a system that invites teens to respond to health-re- lated questions on a tablet computer while they're waiting in their doctor's office. The same device then prompts their health care providers to discuss the HPV vaccine and other resources during their visit. These techniques will be tested against standard practice, which varies from doctor to doctor and often results in missed opportunities to offer the vaccine to patients, Staras said. Typically, vaccines are offered to pa- tients during routine child wellness visits. But as children age into adolescence, the frequency of such visits tends to decline, with patients becoming more likely to visit the doctor only when they are sick, Staras said. Using the tablet computer in these instances not only will help educate the patient but also should help remind physicians to offer it during visits when they are typically not focused on vaccines. July 18, 2012 Multiple system atrophy often mistaken for Parkinson's Disease DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My hus- band passed away in February of this year. He just had his 67th birthday in December. He was diagnosed as having multiple system atrophy about two years ago. We had never heard of MSA. Information we got from the Internet provided all of its symptoms and a predicted longevity of seven to 10 years. He took Sinemet, medicine for Parkinson's disease. It and other medicines did not help. He went from a healthy man to a cane, then to a walker and then to a wheelchair and finally to a hospital bed. How prominent is this disease? Where does it originate? It's devastat- ing. G.M. ANSWER: MSA, multiple system atro- phy, is a degeneration of certain brain centers from causes yet unknown. The more common variety of MSA mim- ics in many ways Parkinson's disease. Patients have the muscular rigidity and stiffness of Parkinson's disease. They're bent forward at the waist. Speech becomes a mumble. They walk in a shuffle and are inclined to fall. Standing up brings on dizziness and fainting due to a drop in blood pressure with a change of position. The average age of onset is 54, and longevity is predicted to be seven to 10 TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH Dr. Paul Donohue years. I can't explain why your husband had such a rapid course. Perhaps it was due to your husband's older age when he came down with it. MSA affects about three people in a population of 100,000. The Parkinson's disease medicine Sinemet is often tried, but no medicine has had resounding success in control- ling symptoms and extending life. You're right. MSA is a devastating ill- ness for the patient and for the family. You and your family have my sincerest sympathy. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I have suf- fered from major depression for most of my adult life. I have tried nearly. every antidepressant and mood-stabi- lizer in various doses, but nothing has helped for more than several months. 7-i AWk " I recently asked my psychiatrist if I could explore the option of electrocon- vulsive therapy, but he dismissed it out of hand as being something I could not afford and being a treatment that lasts for only two weeks. Is this true? I would think the proce- dure would have better success rates and longer-lasting results. What are your thoughts? B.B. ANSWER: The doctor hasn't come up with anything that has worked for you. I don't understand his stance. Unless you have a physical illness that prohibits electroconvulsive (also called electroshock) therapy, you appear to be an ideal patient for such treatment. You have had no success with medicines or talk therapy. ECT gives good results that last much longer than you were told. The two names for ECT (EST) ought to be changed; they evoke fear. In the modern form of this treatment, no observable convulsion takes place, and the process is done quickly. The doctor gives a treatment three times a week for two to four weeks, often as an outpatient. Improvement frequently is seen after two or three treatments, more rapidly than with any other therapy. After mood has stabi- lized, maintenance therapy is given at intervals of one to eight weeks after the ,Shifty eyes aren't necessarily evidence of deception or worse Your mom and pretty much ev- eryone else always told you to look a person in the eyes when you're talking to them. Looking away, mom said, suggested you were hiding something or weren't being entirely forthright. Howard Ehrlichman is a psychology professor at Queens College in New York who has studied eye movements since the 1970s. Writing in the journal Current Directions in Psychological Science, he says shifty eyes aren't necessarily evidence of shame, decep- tion or worse. They might just indicate you're thinking, looking inward to extract some long-term memory. Ehrlichman is specifically referring to saccades quick, simultaneous move- ments of both eyes in the same direction. Eye contact is important for humans. It's a primary method of unspoken communi- cation. Some experts have speculated that because it takes so much brain power to use our eyes as communication senders and receivers, we naturally and necessar- ily shift them when we want to direct our thoughts elsewhere. Other experts go a step further and argue that the direction WELL NEWS Scott LaFee of the eye movement correlates with what part of the brain we're accessing. Ehrlichman offers a somewhat different explanation. He posits that saccades are an evolutionary holdover. Most animals survive by constantly surveying their surrounding for food, shelter or predators. The constant eye movement is automatic and instinctive. Modern humans don't have to do the same anymore, but our brains are still constantly assessing what's happen- ing around us. The eyes simply mimic this erratic, bouncy thought process, without actually seeing anything. To test his hypothesis, Ehrlichman had volunteers think about words with their eyes closed. Visual words such as "green" evoked no eye movement. But other words such as "pleasant" caused volun- teers' eyes to jerk around while the brain rifled through its banks for memories and information related to "pleasant."

Explore this treat- ment with a doctor who has experience in ECT. DEAR DR. DONOHUE: My husband and I are in our mid-80s. We have a daughter in her mid-50s, and she lives with us. She has a serious problem. She drinks 70-proof brandy, and easily can drink a pint in one night. What is she doing to her body and brain? She is a wonderful daughter. L.K. ANSWER: The daily limit for distilled beverages and brandy is a distilled beverage is 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor a day. Her 70-proof brandy is close to 80. She far exceeds the limit. She places herself at high risk for liver cirrhosis. Her brain suffers if she is not taking in the suggested daily intake of vitamins. She needs the help of a profes- sional. Start with the family doctor, or suggest Alcoholics Anonymous to her. * * Dr Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column when- ever possible.
